The Countywide landfill is located directly across from Bolivar dam property (see below). Republic Services of Ohio II, LLC, owner of the dump, has unsuccessfully (to date) attempted to triple this dump's operational acreage, and increase its garbage intake capacity by ten-fold (1000%) with a proposed 170 acre expansion.
Stark County judge Lee Sinclair recently voided a deal struck between the dump operators and Pike Township Trustees to negate Township zoning for Countywide and triple the dump's operational acreage, while obligating Republic Services to pay for all costs (not covered by government funds) for a proposed I-77 dump ramp.
